asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance if she is aware that the war pension life certificate in its new postcard form is a source of distress to those who are unable to post the cards themselves; and, in view of the confidential information that is required to be given, if she will change the form to a letter card.

The new form of certificate is very much simpler and more convenient for pensioners than the one it replaced. I am not aware that it has caused distress but if the hon. Member has any evidence of this my right hon. Friend would be very glad to consider it.
